Famous quotes containing the words edward and/or young:

    To tell you the truth, I’m relieved that the Van Ripers are not coming. He’s telling the same jokes he told twenty years ago and she dyes her hair. I think it’s a shrimp pink now.
    Adele Comandini, and Edward Sutherland. Michael O’Brien (Charles Winninger)

    Though Love has finished,
    the young wife
    doesn’t know when to quit
    and thinks,
    “There must be something else,”
    her heart
    wanting more.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
